<h1>Improving document execution performance</h1>
<p>By default, MicroStrategy Web automatically calculates the width of 
 your document and height of your document's sections when the document 
 is executed. This ensures that the document is automatically resized to 
 display all of its content. </p>
<p>If you disable this automatic size adjusting, you can improve the speed 
 at which the document is executed. </p>
<p>This change applies to documents executed in Editable Mode, Interactive 
 Mode, or View Mode only. Enabling or disabling automatic resizing does 
 not affect how a document is exported to Excel or PDF. When a document 
 is exported to Excel or PDF, it is automatically positioned as far to 
 the right as necessary to effectively display the document.</p>
<h2>To ensure that document width and section height are not resized automatically 
 </h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences</B></span> 
 link at the top right of MicroStrategy Web. The User Preferences page 
 opens. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the left, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report 
 Services</B></span>. The Report Services user preferences are displayed.</p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 If you are an administrator, you can specify these Report Services preferences 
 on a project-wide basis in the Report Services preferences within the 
 Project Defaults page. </p>
<ol start="3" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3">To ensure that the width of 
 your document is not resized automatically, from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Document 
 Width Mode Calculation</B></span> drop-down list, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Off</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3"><span style="margin-left: 0px;">To 
 ensure that the height of sections in your document are not resized automatically, 
 from the </span><span style="margin-left: 0px; font-weight: bold;"><B>Document

 drop-down list, select </span><span style="margin-left: 0px; font-weight: bold;"><B>Off</B></span><span 
 style="margin-left: 0px;">.</span></p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="5" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 to save your changes.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Change the size of your sections in your document. For 
 steps, see 
<a HREF="Changing_the_size_of_sections.htm">Changing the size 
 of sections</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You can also improve the speed at which a document is 
 executed by setting the following properties. You can edit these properties 
 in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Layout</B></span> tab of the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Properties</B></span> dialog box when editing a 
 document section:</p></li>
</ol>
<ol type="disc" class="whs4">
	<ul type="disc" class="whs5">
		
<li class=p><p>Clear the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Can Shrink</B></span> 
 and <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Can Grow</B></span> check boxes.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p>Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Hide 
 if Empty</B></span> check box.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: In some cases, your&nbsp;PDF 
 document may appear differently than the document displayed in one of 
 the view modes. For example, if you add a grid report to a section and 
 enable the Can Grow setting for this section, when the document is executed 
 in PDF, the section will automatically adjust such that the entire grid 
 is displayed regardless of the amount of data within it. However, when 
 the document is executed in MicroStrategy Web, if the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Document 
 Section Height Mode Calculation</B></span> option is set to <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Off</B></span>, 
 the section retains its fixed height and the grid may appear truncated, 
 depending on the amount of data it contains.</p>
